Half shaft bolt moved?

Hello, I was looking at my half shaft bolts . Can't see the top 2 on each but the bottoms look good but 1 on the passenger side is questionable. Does it look like it moved or sloppy paint line? It's got 3,300 miles on it.

it didn't move. If than it went to wrong direction. It got more tight. There are Nord-lock washer it should't move at all.

Did the 16's that people are talking about the bolts coming loose and breaking a half shaft not have Nord-lock washers on them?

Interesting my early 2017 model year build does not have the Nord-lock washers. Recall longer bolts being part of "upgrade" kit but did not recall the Nord-lock washers.

I think it simultaneously became looser and tighter, but the act of observing it falsified the final state.

I think my build date is 5-17. Never got any work done other than 2 oil changes so far. So I think the lock washers are original.

You should tell them to take a picture of them for future reference and for posting.

FYI: My 2017 Camaro SS was built Nov. 2016 and has the Nordlock style washers. I’m not sure if mine has the longer bolts or not.

MY 2016 backed out and broke.... Maybe check if they're tight? Or perhaps bring it in and see if you need the longer bolt kit?
